Product Description
The clinical reasoning process is explained in terms of formation of an initial concept, formation of hypotheses, the further expansion of inquiry tactics, and application of appropriate clinical skills. Over 80 carefully selected cases are featured where pieces of data are interspersed with corresponding pieces of logic. The most common clinical presentations seen in medical practice are covered, and readers get an extensive body of medical knowledge.

 Patients are better. December 8, 2007
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book is way too dense for medical school. It's like being pimped except that you won't remember the information after you read it. Seeing a patient with any of these conditions and going through their management with an attending is much more useful. Amazon is great for returns though!
 A MUST READ for medical students May 2, 2003
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
One of the most useful books I ever read in medical school! This is money and time well spent for a second, third, or fourth year medical student who wishes to vastly improve his clinical thinking skills! This book presents numerous clinical vignettes based on chief complaint and presentation. The vignettes include all of the most common problems you will encounter in a medicine ward (very very few zebras, although he discusses those in the differential diagnoses).It is marvelously written and organized. You will become much more comfortable with considering differential diagnoses and pursuing workup and management of medicine inpatients. I ended up pursuing otolaryngology, but I am definitely a better clinician for having read this book (and studied my arse off in med school). I looked like a superstar med student on my internal medicine rotation, largely because I had read this book. It should be required reading for every introductory clinical medicine course!!!
Great bread and butter epidemiology/pathophysiology June 10, 1999

Third edition by author of proven merit in solving problems by context. Uses a think-along-with-me techinique which is annoying during rounds but very profitable in print. A must read, great review, regardless of specialty.
